I just joined StumbleUpon a few weeks ago. Thought StumbleUpon was only some kind of community for websurfers. However, this week, I saw a lot of traffics from StumbleUpon in Google Analystic. I did some researches online, then I finally realized we could get much more free traffics from StumbleUpon.

Four months later Yang and Filo renamed the search engine Yahoo! after a word used by Jonathan Swift in Gulliver’s Travels. Swift’s definition of Yahoo! was “rude, unsophisticated, uncouth.”

Understanding that they had designed something that could enjoy potential business success Filo and Yang incorporated Yahoo! early in March of 1995, fourteen …

I’ve learned a lot about search engines and search engine marketing, mostly by trial and error. It’s those countless hours of researching, testing, and failing when I often think it would have been better to let someone else experience it first. Then I could have simply observed and learned. But, I don’t have the patience to stand around and let others fail first. What’s the fun in that?
